Chapter 1128: The Night of Panic (6)
Lin Jue was stunned, he was actually not surprised by Du Weiji's words, Du Weijian was the kind of person who would repay him with all his strength once he gave him respect. Straightforward, even with a hint of naivety. After returning to the capital, Du Wei gradually worked wholeheartedly, did a very good job in the relief of Jingdong and West Road, and did a very good job in the position of deputy envoy of the third department. All this is to repay the grace of his knowledge and the grace of the emperor. At this moment, there was a change in the court, the emperor's life and death were uncertain, and he was obviously unwilling to let him go with him.
"Brother Du, don't you see that you can't do it? There is only one result of staying, and that is to be purged and killed under all kinds of stigma. You think it's an escape, but I don't see it that way. Needless death doesn't do things any good. Lin Jue patiently persuaded.
Du Wei gradually frowned and said, "How can you know the result without making any attempts." Moreover...... Does Guo Xu dare to kill the king? The emperor must still be alive. How dare he do it to us? We didn't do anything wrong. β
Lin Jue wanted to scold him for being naΓ―ve, but he still patiently persuaded him: "Brother Du, think about the fate of my teacher, Mr. Fang and Master Yan. Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai did everything. When you talk to them about the bottom line, it's tantamount to talking about morality with robbers. Guo Xu tried to attack and kill me and my whole family not long ago, and I saw through this group of people. Listen to me, don't have unrealistic illusions, and leave with me. β
Du Wei gradually said: "But what if you leave?" Is it good for things to leave? I've already run away once, and this time I don't want to. Brother Lin, I am grateful to you, Du's confidant and friend in this life are only you. I'm so grateful that you're still thinking about me at this time. But I couldn't go. Brother Lin, you can go, after all, you have a family, wife and children, and if you suffer a liquidation, you will be full of ink. But I'm different, I'm alone, I have no family, no worries, I'm not afraid of anything. I want to stay, and I want to expose the facts, and rebuke Guo Xu, Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun, and them. I hope Brother Lin can understand. The Great Zhou has eroded to this point, and I want to use it to control my loyalty. β
Lin Jue heard it, and Du Wei should have understood that if he stayed, he would definitely die. But he still didn't want to go, he didn't care about his life anymore, what he wanted was the loyalty in his mind, even if it was death. Lin Jue can't reprimand him for being stupid, this may be the loyalty praised by many people, and it is exactly what many people admire. In essence, Du Weijian and Yan Zheng Su Fang Dunru are not the same kind of people.
"Brother Du!" Lin Jue still needs to be persuaded again.
"Brother Lin, don't say it. If you want to go, hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to go. Brother Lin is a person with great wisdom and ability, and he must bring Da Zhou back on track in the future. And I am an insignificant person, Brother Lin should not bother with me, don't delay time. Brother Lin, Du said goodbye to Brother Lin here, and when he gave up no wine, he replaced the wine with tea and said goodbye to Brother Lin. Du Wei gradually interrupted Lin Jue's words, and picked up the teacup to signal to Lin Jue.
This is not only a send-off, but also a farewell gift. Lin Jue held the teacup, and his heart was very entangled and uncomfortable. It's not that he doesn't understand Du's actions, but he doesn't think it's worth it. Du Weijian can do this, but he will never do it. Not only the lives of these people around him, but also his own death
Being alone, Lin Jue would not stay and die. This may be the difference between the thinking of a person who has traveled through time and the people of this era. Perhaps Du Weijian thought that this could fulfill his heart, that he could stay to find peace of mind, and that he could prove his loyalty. In this case, why should it be difficult for you to be strong.
Lin Jue silently walked out of the room, turned around, and saw Du Wei's figure sitting on the chair. Lin Jue seemed to see two lines of things shining under the candle on Du Weichuan's cheeks, and Du Weijian seemed to be crying. Suddenly, Du Wei gradually turned his head and blew out the candle flame, and the whole room fell into darkness, and Du Weiji's figure also melted into the darkness. Du Wei gradually didn't want Lin Jue to see his tears, but his eyes kept on the figure in the faint light in the courtyard, watching him turn around and stride away, walking out of the courtyard gate.
Du Wei gradually stood up in the dark, bowed respectfully towards the dark door, and said in his heart: "Brother Lin, it's time for eternity!" β
Outside the house, Sun Dayong and the others saw Lin Jue coming out, and hurriedly looked behind Lin Jue, but they didn't see Du Weiji's figure, and couldn't help but wonder: "My lord, where is Lord Du?" β
Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "Get on the horse and go to Lord Yang Xiuyang's residence." After seeing Lord Yang this time, Dayong, you arranged for the two brothers to take him directly on the horse and take him away, I don't want to say anything more to him, I'm fed up. β
Everyone was stunned. Lin Jue had already flown on his horse and rode his horse. The crowd hurriedly mounted their horses and followed.
β¦β¦
On the shore of the northwest lake, in front of the palace. Thousands of soldiers and horses are being assembled. More than 1,000 palace guards and nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses of the guards under the jurisdiction of the little prince Guo Kun have gathered here.
On the bluestone platform, Guo Bing, the king of Liang, and Guo Kun, the little prince, were both fully armed, standing on it with complete armor and blades. King Liang was wearing armor that he hadn't worn for a long time, and although his body was a little bloated, the armor was a little ill-fitting. But he stood there, still majestic.
After returning from Yude Building, the prince and his son once again had a serious long talk. They thought that Lin Jue's words were not unreasonable, and Yang Jun would definitely support Guo Xu and join Lu Zhongtian's faction. So the situation will become very dangerous and bad. But at the same time, the father and son were on the same page, and they thought it was definitely a great opportunity. Their father and son have been dormant for years, waiting for opportunities like this.
Now Guo Xu has usurped the throne, the crown prince has been killed, and the emperor's life and death are uncertain. Ascending to the top at this moment will inevitably bring loyal people under his command. They want to attack the palace and kill Guo Xu, and it is best that Guo Chong is also dead, so the Great Zhou Jiangshan can only be sent by Guo Bing to take charge.
This father and son have been dormant for many years, cautious, and in a situation of passive beating. But now, they finally have the opportunity to move forward with their heads held high, and they have also mustered up the courage to act. Because, there is only one short step away from the throne, there is no need to do a lot of planning, there is no need to have too much management. Now is their chance. They believed that as long as they raised their banners and told the world the truth about the rebellion, countless people would support him. The soldiers and horses guarding the palace will also defect and join them.
What gives them such courage is not only the moral high ground, but also because of the position of the little prince Guo Kun. As
The commander of the guard infantry division, Guo Kun held the soldiers and horses in his hands. Although not all the soldiers and horses of the infantry division, Guo Kun calculated that he could mobilize as many as six or seven thousand soldiers and horses. That's the confidence. In the eyes of Guo Bing's father and son, although the front division of the temple of the three soldiers and horses has the highest status and the best equipment, he is the one with the most ineffective combat effectiveness. Because it is to defend the palace, there is no chance of actual combat. Moreover, because it is a close servant soldier and horse, it is regarded by many people as a step into the body, so it is full of all kinds of officials and children of the royal family, these people are here to gild, and it is impossible to fight.
All of these are factors that make things successful. gave their father and son the confidence to fight hard. What's more, once they win, they can get the throne of Great Zhou overnight, and this alone is enough for their father and son to take the biggest risk in their lives.
Shen Tan frowned and led more than a thousand palace guards to stand in the ranks, he had hoped to persuade the prince and the little prince to follow Lin Jue out of the city before midnight. However, he didn't even have a chance to persuade him, and the prince and his son had already discussed and decided. Shen Tan trusted Lin Jue's judgment, and he knew that there was almost no chance of winning by doing this. But he knew that if he tried to persuade him at this moment, the prince and his son would kill him without hesitation. will think that he shakes the morale of the military.
"Soldiers!" Guo Bing stood on the bluestone platform and spoke loudly.
The soldiers and guards who were chattering in a panic fell silent.
"Soldiers! You're afraid you don't know what's going on. This king tells you that Guo Xu, the king of Huai, has rebelled. At dusk, he killed the crown prince and put the emperor under house arrest with the intention of usurping the throne. His accomplice Lu Zhongtian planned everything for him. Zhao Yuankang, the commander of the front division of the palace, is a spy placed by Lu Zhongtian next to the emperor. This usurpation was a grand and well-orchestrated conspiracy. The emperor's life and death are uncertain now, and my Great Zhou is in danger. It is about to be seized by the traitors who kill their fathers and brothers, and they will be poisoned by the disloyal and unrighteous rebels. At this time, as the emperor's younger brother, this king has the duty to rescue the emperor and eliminate the rebellion. Therefore, this king hereby declares that tonight we will storm the palace and rescue the emperor. You are all loyal and righteous people, for the emperor, for my Great Zhou Jiangshan Sheji, for your loyalty, we must fight to the end. The king hereby promises that after quelling the usurpation of the traitor tonight, all of you present will be extremely generously rewarded, and you should be rewarded for your efforts to protect the country, worship officials and knights, and be a high-ranking official. My righteous soldiers will be invincible wherever they go. β
Guo Bing's eloquence is still good, and just a few words mobilized everyone's emotions. While they were shocked by the rebellion in the palace, they also gave birth to hatred. What's more, there are huge interests ahead, and they are naturally ready to move. Guo Bing can also downplay the strength of the other party, not mentioning the fact that the opponent's number of troops is more than his own, what he needs is to give these people chicken blood, not to pour cold water on them.
"Kun'er, say a few words." Guo Bing turned his head to Guo Kundao.
Guo Kun stepped forward to scan the audience, waved the long sword in his hand that day, and shouted: "Don't say anything, rescue the emperor and protect my Da Zhou." Kill the rebels and thieves tonight. Let's go. β
Together with the palace guards, nearly 7,000 soldiers and horses started from the open square in front of the Liang Palace, and headed for the palace. Although there are only 7,000 people, the feeling that the entire street is full of soldiers and horses still makes people feel quite powerful.
